Description

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. Security plugin was implemented in DNF-2.1.1-1. It is available for fc26 and rawhide. It can be also installed from our testing repository where we provide it for fc24 and later versions. Please can you try it and report what can be improve according to yum security behavior? Thanks a lot for your experience. In dnf-2.5.0 we enhance reports about skipped updates and also we implemented security feature from yum as previously mentioned, therefore I think that reported problem here is at least partially solved. Unfortunately at the present time we cannot report if skipped packages provides any security fix. But user can use security options to figure it out by its own. Please if any problem or missing feature in DNF according to security, please don't hesitate to open the bug report. I'd like to leave this open as a future RFE; leaving the user to figure it out on their own isn't as friendly as we could be. As described in the original bug, this was always intended to be a follow-on request to the addition of the yum-security features. Ok, now we can fix that. Please can you provide an example of output that you would prefer? I am sorry but there is no activity from reporter. |
